it is not necessary that q man should be-
licve in prohibition because he signs the
demand for vote on the question. 1t is
poor cause that is afraid to meet the
test of public opinion.
1t is hardly necessary to call the atten.
ton of our citizens to the fact that the
drug firm of Dunn & Co., opposite the
Sheridan House, Bismarck, keeps on
hand at all times a large stock of fresh
and pure drugs, which will be sold at the
lowest prices. Give the firm call ana
he convinced Of the fact.
The intelligence brought up from
Beaver Creek some time ago as to the
accident that happened to A. L. Reynolds
was incorrect. The facts are that Mr.. Il
stepped on thorn, which broke off in
the muscles of his foot, and he could not
extract it. He then went to Fort Yates,
where the surgeon took it out and he is
all right
Mr.. Albert Robinson informs us that
Capt. Call, agent for the St. Paul Insur-
ance Company did entirely the fair thing
in settling Mr.. r. S loss by hail. The St.
Paul is rich and reliable company, and
the farmers of Dakota are rapidly learn.
ing that it is better to insure in such
company than to bother with the mush-

If you have to purchase groceries,
Of course you want them to be of good
quality and sold at reasonable prices.
And in this connection we will say that
George Jennings, the Bismarck grocer, is
establishing an enviable reputation as a
merchant whose groceries are fresh and
margin of profit. He also makes spc-
cialty, of fruits and vegetables.
While a much larger area of grain has
been seeded and raised this year than
formerly in the central and southern parts
Of the county, while good, fair crop
will be harvested nearly everywhere
throughout her borders, and while the
farmers of this region will find no demand
for produce from other parts of the
county, still the excellence of crops here,
as admitted by all visitors, entities the

Tribune, Saturday: F. J. Call has been
in Emmons County this week adjusting
hail losses. Of course he kept his eyes
open for good crops. On the table land
around Wlliamsport he saw as pretty a
stretch of rich green fields as he ever saw
| in h1S
as could be asked, and the quality of the
berry will be No. 1 hard, without the
slightest doubt. In fact the whole crop
in that section will be the best grade
known to elevator men.
MIR. Fred Hollembaek, of Bismarck,
visited Williamsport yesterday afternoon.
He was accompanied by the right Of way
agent of the A, B. & N. w. road. The
latter gentleman had an interview here
with Uncle Dudley, who, it is said, kali
k'lates to butt the bullgine off his sons
ree-claim. You're right, f. d. There s
no reason why corporation. the same
as an individual, should not pay for any
damage it may do. Where a railroad
company proposes to run a mile through
one claim the owner should not be blamed
if he bucks 'em for damages. Later--Mr
Walker was in the RECORD office and
stated that he had settled the matter for
$1OO.
The other day well-known farmer
living not far from town had friend call
on him. The friend found him in the
garden, looking extremely tired. "Nice,
clean garden remarked the visitor
"Y:e-e-s," was the reply; 'but
you bet it took hard work to get those
weeds out" Then he stretched himself
and looked still more weary. The gen.
tlemen went indoors. The lady of the
house remarked, "Why don't you say
something, about my garden2' "It's
fine,' said the friend; your husband
just told me what hard work it was to
get the weeds out" Hard work p ex-
claimed the lady; ''why. the children and
1 did it all Then the farmer looked sad,
and he invited the visitor out to look at
his corn, and as he went through the
} doorway he sang "Twas ever thus; from
guileless youth I've seen my bcst-built
yarns decay; l never monkey with the
truth But some ones sure to give 1t
away"
Miss Ella Brown is reported as being
much better. Her mother arrived at Bis.
marck Saturday evening from the home
of the family, on Beaver Creek. Mr.
Bessey, the young Florida gentleman to
whom Miss Ella is engaged to be married,
has been in Bismarck for some time
Citizens of this county who have made
his acquaintance state that he is in every
way worthy the regard of the bright and
lovable little woman whom our people
sincerely hope will soon be restored to
health, and thereby remove the deep and
poignant grief from the hearts of those
nearest her. In all parts of the county,
at Winchester, at Williamsport, up.
Beaver" at Winona, in Glanavon (where
she taught), the first question one hears
on returning from Bismarck is, "How is
Miss Brown getting along?" All trust
that she will soon be able to seek Florida's
more congcnial cline, and that she may
there enjoy permanent good health.
